"I don't just categorically extirpate young people out of school, but I am categorically emphatic that we cannot any longer condone hooliganism, aberrant behavior and deviant behavior in those schools," Clark said in a CNN interview. "I'm convinced that young people, the vast majority, deserve the right to an environment that's conducive to learning." More than anything else I believe that this is the key to success or failure of a school. That and enforcing standards.
One of the things that I thought they got right in that film was the portrayal of the Mother of the drug dealing teenager that insisted that he had a right to be in the school regardless of his behavior.
She was a troublemaker in front of the school board and knew how to make trouble for a reforming principal.
She portrayed a Leftist very well.
Joe Clark retired in 1989. Twenty-one years of retirement. Not bad.

Clark expelled 300 students for fighting, vandalism, abusing teachers and drug possession — in one dayToday, that is all overlooked if a certain percentage of those expelled are from a certain group.
It would be called "disproportionate punishment", and all 300 of those hoodlums would go right back in the classroom.
